    Pay.
    Pay?
    Yes, I am a prostitute.
    A what?
    A prostitute, you pay me for sex.
    I don't get it, says the Koala Bear. So she brings up a dictionary and points.
    Here, prostitute: You pay her for sex. Koala bear looks, then takes the dictionary points and says:
    Here, Koala Bear: Eat bush and leaves.

    I hope the Koala is fine, most people dont know that Koalas should not drink with there head upwards. Koalas get nearly all the water they need from plants and if they need they drink some. But when the water comes from something like a bottle, they can drown cause the water goes into the lungs. I also didnt know this a few Weeks ago but i heard it from the news.
    They said when u wanna give water to a koala, give it in a bowl or something like it .

    Please everyone, if you can approach a koala like that, it means it is very sick and needs professional help. Contact a local wildlife group who will go out and rescue him, rehabilitate and nurse back to health.

How did you know that if one is able to approach them like this, they are very sick with need for veterinary help?

      Emy Fowell I've been very lucky to work in a wildlife shelter with koalas amongst other native animals. Healthy koalas will come down to ground to get to another tree if there aren't bridging branches to climb across. They will never stay on the ground unless something is wrong.
      Something I will never forget is feeding baby koalas, absolutely the best experience ever! :D

    This is cute but quite unusual. They don't usually drink much water at all, unless it's extremely hot or there is something wrong with them. Also, they are usually not fond of human contact at all, the guy was pretty lucky he didn't have a chunk taken out of him! Cute encounter but the koala's behaviour suggests something's not quite right. Or it could just be very friendly! p.s. you shoudn't share your water bottle with an animal unless you're going to disinfect it afterwards. No lecture intended but don't put yourself at risk of harm just to get close to our furry buddies. Cute but unpredictable!

    Oh my gosh, I would be in heaven if I could have been there to be Abe to touch the little bear. Those are my favorite animals! You are so lucky to have encountered such a wonderful creature. Thanks for the sharing, krikey.

    koalas normally have to rely on eucalyptus leaves not just for food but also for most of their hydration (many aboriginals versions of the word mean "doesn't drink", although they do drink - just not much) so water like this is a treat they'll never say no to!
